Etoile du Sahel vs AS FAR Rabat Prediction: This fierce encounter won’t deprive us of goals

Etoile du Sahel will lock horns with AS FAR Rabat at the Stade Olympique de Sousse on Saturday. Both teams have pedigree in this tournament, and we expect an entertaining performance from them.

The Red and White are one of the most successful teams in the Tunisian League. Etoile du Sahel won the CAF Championship once in 2007 but failed to make their mark since then. After finishing below the top four in the season before without continental games, Etoile du Sahel returned to the CAF Champions League following their successful season in the Tunisian League.

Etoile du Sahel's first-round encounter ended in a (3-0) aggregate victory over Algeria-based CS Constantine.

The Red and White are a group of young and experienced players who’ll definitely show class here.

The Black Army secured the Botola Pro League last season after a tug of war between Wydad Casablanca, which saw them win the title with their last game of the season. AS FAR Rabat lost three times in the entire campaign, scoring fifty times while conceding nineteen goals. AS FAR Rabat head into this round after their commanding victory over ASKO Kara, scoring eight goals without conceding in both legs.

AS FAR Rabat are unbeaten this season, and with their great run in the CAF Confederation Cup last campaign, we expect them to perform well here.

Etoile du Sahel have been impressive this season, even though they’ve lost once against Olympique Beja. The Red and White are among the most experienced teams in this competition, unlike AS FAR Rabat, who have failed to make the group phase in their three consecutive appearances.

Etoile du Sahel are the favorite here as it will be difficult to defeat AS FAR Rabat in Morocco; bet on a home win or draw and over 1.5 goals for 1.90.

Both teams have a higher chance of getting goals; bet on BTTS for 2.01.

This encounter will end in favor of the home side; bet on Etoile du Sahel win for 2.10.

Good luck!
